Sh*tuff My Dad Wrote

by Frank Napoleon, Jr.

2011 · Lulu.com

I always assumed that in addition to picking through my meager box of old watches, rings, and other possessions, my family would scour my hard drive looking for items I had written during my life. Realizing it was a remote possibility they would undertake let alone find such treasures in the labyrinth of file folders I've created over the years, I decided to compile a collection of my written works into this single volume. It is my hope they will glean some wisdom from the collection if only to draw comfort in the realization that their Dad was once a twenty-something contemplating marriage, and a thirty something father, or even fifty-something and aging against his will.

Plays Well in Groups

by Katherine Frank

2013 · Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

From tribal religious rituals to the Playboy mansion, and from ancient Rome to Burning Man, Plays Well in Groups explores the phenomenon of group sex. Author Katherine Frank draws on surveys, ethnographic research, participant interviews, and more to provide explanations for both, participation in group sex and our complex reactions to it, from fascination to fear. This book looks at group sex across cultures—who has it, and why. Group sex is almost always taboo and often criminalized, and yet it persists across cultures throughout history. Plays Well in Groups looks at the symbolism of orgies, as well as contemporary manifestations of group sex in bathhouses and public sex venues, at BDSM and swinging parties, on Craigslist, and in political scandals, Tantra classes, reality television, and more. Frank explores the many reasons people participate in group sex, from arousal to spiritual transcendence, in this bold study of subversive sexuality.
